Binnington was recently recalled from the San Antonio Rampage of the AHL. BOX SCORE: BLUES 3, FLYERS 0 Ryan O'Reilly had two assists for St. Louis, which had dropped three of four heading into this game. The reeling Flyers have lost a season-worst seven straight games.

Wayne Simmonds (born August 26, 1988) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player and alternate captain for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL).

On Thursday, TSN's Bob McKenzie reported that Simmonds is "more likely than not to be traded" before the deadline.

Simmonds is in the final year of his contract, but his team-friendly $3.975-million cap hit makes him one of the more attractive rental options available. He does, however, have a limited no-trade clause, in which he can submit a 12-team no-trade list.

With the NHL trade deadline swiftly approaching, more players continue to find their names among rumor talks.

Simmonds is having a down year by his standards, but the power forward would be an invaluable addition for any team gearing up for a deep playoff run, given that physicality tends to amp up in the postseason. Nashville and Winnipeg are already considered two of the heaviest teams in the league, so adding Simmonds would make either team even more dangerous.

The 30-year-old is on pace for 25 goals, but his 35 points would be his lowest mark in a full season since joining the Flyers in 2011-12. Of course, his assist total would likely be higher if he were on a better team, surrounded by better linemates. The Flyers are dead-last in the Eastern Conference, and Simmonds is currently skating with Nolan Patrick and Scott Laughton.

The Predators and Jets sit comfortably atop the Central Division with 58 points apiece, but both clubs could stand to add some scoring depth up front.

Jan. 18--Before the firings and the goalie injuries, before the losses started mounting and many of the young players took a step backward, the Flyers were supposed to be in a good position at the start of the all-star break Sunday. They would build on a 98-point season and, for the first time since Ron Hextall became the general manager in 2014 and began digging out of the cap mess he inherited, the Flyers had money to spend for a big-ticket player on the trade market. They would be a buyer before the Feb. 25 trade deadline, most suspected before the season, and they would finally be in a strong position to win their first playoff series since 2012.
